Winemakers have long known that blending different grape varietals can favorably balance the flavor characteristics of the wine they produce. In the future, makers of advanced biofuels might use a similar strategy, blending different feedstock varieties to balance the energy characteristics of the transportation fuel they produce. A collaborative study by researchers with the DOE’s [...]

Lignocellulosic Biomass

On April 26, 2011, in

[singlepic id=529 w=320 h=240 float=right]It is estimated that there is over 1 billion tons of non-food lignocellulosic biomass currently available on a sustainable basis in the United States alone for the production of biofuels.  Lignocellulosic biomass is therefore a critical feedstock for the production of renewable fuels that will be required to meet the biofuel [...]
